Any NYU student, faculty, or staff member may nominate an NYU student for a President's Service Award. Before nominating please review the criteria & eligibility requirements below.

President's Service Awards are given to students or student organizations that have had an extraordinary and positive impact on the University community, including achievements within schools and departments, the University at large, local neighborhoods, and NYU's presence in the world.

Enhancing wellness

The following are eligibility requirements that must be met by each nominee.

Nominees must be in good academic standing (as defined by the nominee's academic unit).

Nominees must be registered during the semester the award will be given, or have graduated the previous December or August.

Nominations should be based on achievements that date from February of the previous year; for the 2015 awards, nominations should be based on achievements between February 2014 and February 2015.
